Whilst watching the race video recorded by Duncan-san&#8217;s\u00a0bike cam, we talked about how we felt during the race as well as key highlights and tips for this course.<\/p>\n<p>This is a rather unique video for BL, and I hope you will enjoy how it is like to compete in a crit race, and the vibe of the race event itself.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2lhfM7F1yBU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So this criterium race will also be held in CMWC.
